This film is a remake
of Mario Camerini’s comedy Crimen.
Phoebe has gone to Rome to meet up with her boyfriend but she finds
herself jilted. She’s not happy
about that and a little dachshund dog eats her hamburger lunch. Now she’s just got some crackers to eat
for herself. She starts looking
through the newspaper and she finds out there is a $5,000 reward for the little
dog. She meets Julian Peters and
they both want to claim the reward money.
They go to the mansion where the woman owner lives and they find out
she’s dead. Phoebe leaves her
suitcase behind and Julian thinks he saw the murderer’s shoes and his face in
the greenery.
The scenery is very
beautiful but this film suffers from age?
Some of the gags and jokes aren’t funny either? George Hamilton has his normal bronze
tan complexion but he looks very old and his skin like leather? 2 1/2* (This film is so-so)
